Can I drop out at 15 if I have a unconditional offer from cooking college

Because of I am a new immigrant. Although I am 15 and a half years old, I still a yr10 student. I have a high chance of getting an unconditional offer from a cooking college. If i have that unconditional offer, could I drop out at 15.

Not legally, no. You must be in school until you are 16.

Also think about the qualifications that you would need once you finish at that cooking college. Most employers want a pass in GCSE English Language and Maths (exams you take before you leave school).

Just stay in school until the ned of year 11 and then consider your options.
